Yeah, but depending on where you live, you could be awfully close to Missouri, Kentucky or Tennessee!

I'm 19% Dixie, myself, which makes sense since I've lived here my entire life and have no family whatsoever in the south to rub off on me!

and what do you call Molassess. I have been known to call it sorgum and molassess depending on what I am using it for. If its for my biscuits its sorgum if its for baking my sweet taters, yes I say taters and maters, then its mollassess. Either way its good stuff

LOL Same here, 100%. And I don't go to drive through liquor stores, but they are all over around here. Even the 'nice' ones have a drive through window.

Talk about nearly hitting a person.
There are actually 3 stages of yonder. Theres "yonder" (such as in the corner of a room on in the yard) "Over yonder" (further away, but still in sight), and "WAY over yonder" (next holler)

28% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle. I'm surprised I wasn't even less Dixie!

Nuh uh...might give me away!
65% Dixie.Well under the Mason-Dixon Line

I grew up in NW Indiana (Gary, specifically), so a very urban area. However, my grandparents are from the south (West Virginia and Kentucky) on my mom's side. Guess it was just passed down.

43% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

Huh...I've spent my whole life up north, my parents are from the North, THEIR parents are from the North. I guess that's what happens when I live towns whose nicknames end in "-tucky"...

I know about the three stages of yonder but my Kentucky roots show more and more. Didn't want everyone to know that I am true blue and you can hear me a mile away yelling for the wildcats. Although I don't really think I am very good at hiding it.

Its strong but if it doesn't go down smoothly, if it burns going down, then it isn't made right. The main thing to remember is to NEVER drink it on an empty stomach and not to mix anything with it. And to make sure you have a good comfy seat and don't try to walk around while drinking it.

lol....no...the good thing to remember is if your brother-in-law Bubba makes it, you probably shouldn't drink it

"35% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee."

Is that good or bad?
I'm a Canucklehead.

Somehow I came out 60% Dixie. Not to bad from a girl from Ohio. I, however, wasn't aware of the 3 states of Yonder. But I have been known to use a ya'll every know and then.
